Modern Physics Laboratory
Lab will meet on Monday and Wednesday from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. You will not necessarily be in lab every one of those days, but you should plan to keep that time open until after we announce your lab schedule at various times during the semester. The tentative schedule for each lab is given on the syllabus for the course. The labs listed below will be done unless unknown factors intervene or I choose to add other labs. You will need a lab notebook to record all of your data and do all of your analyses.
